Supreme Commander (PC) Review

Absolutely. The single-player campaign will keep you occupied for weeks, and you shouldn’t have any problems finding multiplayer opponents matching your skill level. A word of advice: learn to use the hotkeys or you’ll experience the RTS equivalent of teabagging. You just can’t move fast enough using only the mouse.

The original TA was heaven for modders, and it seems that philosophy holds true for SupCom. The first user-created maps are already starting to show up on the many fansites, and I expect quite a few innovative additions in the year ahead.

Bottom line: SupCom is the best RTS out there, period. Will Command & Conquer 3 be a worthy challenger for that title? Time will tell, but I know this: SupCom will deliver the goods for years to come.

	REPORT CARD : Supreme Commander (PC) category rating comments Creativity 5 All-out war is hardly a new idea, but it has never been executed this well. The polish and the unprecedented scale is sure to impress even jaded gamers. Sound 4 Great battle effects, mostly good voice acting, and a somewhat bland score. It gets the job done. Longevity 5 The campaign may take weeks – but that’s just warming up before going head to head with human opponents online. Graphics 4 Nice and clean. Not spectacular, but works very well for this type of game. Fun Factor 5 Surrender any hope of spare time now. Notify your family so they don’t have to worry. Dive in and don’t look back. FINAL VERDICT: 5 out of 5 stars
